ah yes, it runs on a lot of mobile phones, and app developers cannot get consistent performance out of all those different phones, thanks to java and the Shit OS that runs on them, which shall remain unnamed.

i worked for a startup once that put a java based GUI on top of some C code and used the JNI. the endless issues with java bankrupted the company as the clients who were supposed to adopt the solution refused to deal with the sub par performance and reliability.

Not everyone can afford to hire good coders, so they get what they pay for.

java and that OS using java are poor solutions and the idea that you can get consistent performance out of a variety of phones running an OS incorporating java is retarded. at least at Apple they know what they are doing and never made that mistake.
